How to Transfer from TakeOut Technologies When it Shuts Down
It is never easy when one business is closing down, especially for the clients of that business, who are used to using certain products in a certain way. Unfortunately, this is the case for the TakeOut Technologies, which will be closing down their customer-facing online ordering website as of January 1, 2020.
Even though this is definitely distressing for all their clients, there may be a simple solution available. If you are their client and if you are thinking about transferring to a different company that will help you manage this change, take a look at what Orders2Me can do for you and your business.
POS Integrations
Let’s start with the most important one – POS system. If you are happy with your POS system (whether it is MICROS RES 3700 or Aldelo), rest assured that you can continue using it. Our POS integration works with both of them, so you can receive orders directly, save time with order entry and streamline reporting – fast installation, easy integration and all-in-one functionality will allow you to do just that.
Online Ordering
